Mock Trial

Mock Trial’s purpose is to get
students involved in arguing the law. Each year a case is chosen – either civil
or criminal- challenging students to think critically about issues that plague
society. Students will act as attorneys and witnesses, portraying either the
defense or plaintiff/prosecution.At the
competitions, student performances are scored by judges or attorneys to determine
if the team will move on to the next round.

Mock Trial aims to further
students understanding of the law, court procedures, and the legal system. It
also helps to refine students listening, speaking, reading, and reasoning
skills, and is geared towards students who have an interest in law related
professions.
